Excision Editing Tip of the Day! The SI unit for time is second(s) (abbrev. s), but it is perfectly acceptable to use minute (min), hour (h), day (d), week (wk), month (mo), or year (y). #scicomm, #AcademicChatter, #sciencetwitter

EE Tip of the Day! There are several non-SI units that are acceptable in a document that requires SI units. For instance, the SI unit for temperature is the kelvin, but the Celsius scale is more commonly used. #scicomm, #sciencetwitter, #academicchatter, #phdchat

Excision Editing Tip of the Day! The first sentence of a figure caption should essentially be the figure title. It should tell the reader the main point or take-home message of the figure. #scicomm, #sciencetwitter, #academicchatter, #phdchat

Excision Editing Tip of the Day! Fractions should not be used with SI units (e.g., 37.5 kg NOT 37 1/2 kg). #scicomm, #sciencetwitter, #academicchatter, #phdchat
Excision Editing Tip of the Day! It is typically frowned upon to start a paragraph with 'Figure X shows...' or 'Table X shows...' A paragraph should start by establishing what will be discussed in that paragraph. #scicomm, #sciencetwitter, #academicchatter, #AcWri, #phdchat

Excision Editing Tip of the Day! The 'w' in western blotting is not capitalized (except if you begin a sentence with it). #scicomm, #sciencetwitter, #academicchatter, #AcWri, #phdchat
Excision Editing Tip of the Day! In-text citations can be in alphabetical or chronological order, just be consistent (this is of course for citations that are author-year format). #scicomm, #science, #academicchatter, #phdchat
Excision Editing Tip of the Day! There should be no space on either side of an en dash when used to represent a range (e.g., 30–40% and not 30 – 40%). #scicomm, #academicchatter, #sciencetwitter, #phdchat

Excision Editing Tip of the Day! A range of percentages can be represented as 50–60% or 50%–60%, just make sure you are consistent (also use the en dash in between the numbers). #scicomm, #sciencetwitter, #academicchatter, #phdchat, #AcWri

Excision Editing Tip of the Day! There is no right way to cite figures and tables in a manuscript (e.g., Fig 1, Figure 1, Fig. 1 etc are all acceptable). Just be consistent! #scicomm, #sciencetwitter, #phdchat, #academicchatter

EE Tip of the Day! Proper nouns do not change with the language. For instance, 'Centers for Disease Control and Prevention' does not get changed to 'Centres for Disease Control and Prevention' when you use British English. #science, #sciencetwitter, #academicchatter, #phdchat
